I’d rather be a Could-Be
If I cannot be an Are;
Because a Could-Be is a May-Be
Who might be reaching for a star.
I’d rather be a Has-Been
Than a Might-Have-Been by far,
For a Might-Have-Been has never been
But a Has-Been was once an Are!
-- Milton Berle (1908-2002), Comedian

Before I can sell John Jones
What John Jones buys,
I must see the world
Through John Jones’s eyes.

Hired.
Tired.
Fired.

PROBLEMS
For every problem
Under the sun,
There is a solution
Or there is none.
If there’s a solution
Go and find it.
If there isn’t,
Never mind it.
